Our guide to West Scotland stretches from Stranraer (Dumfries & Galloway), taking in Ayrshire and Arran, Argyll & The Isles, and the Isle of Skye coast up to Durness.

There is so much to discover and so much to do here on the west coast
that it is not something you can do in a two weeks, or even three, in fact
many visitors return year upon year and explore new sections of the area
from all over the world.

The highlands and islands are popular with many Scandinavian, German and
other international visitors with the malt whiskies being one of the prime
reasons for visiting the area. Other attractions include the stunning landscapes
and clean air, professional and courteous hospitality and a superb blend
of traditional and modern culture.

all accessible by reliable and regular ferry travel.

Accommodation

The quality of accommodation throughout the west coast is very good
indeed with many of the accommodation providers overlooking water,
whether it is a natural harbour like Tarbert, perhaps sandy
cove such as Dunvalanree, or alternatively with a section of private
beach on the water's edge such as Ardmarnoch Estate

Due to the high volume of tourism, most if not all accommodation is
kept exceptionally clean, and redecorated each year maintaining the
high quality and cleanliness. Places such as Inveraray and Tarbert
paint their buildings on the outside each year too. Browse Accommodation >
